Positioning measurement derivation based on a decoded physical downlink channel and corresponding measurement latency

A user equipment (UE), comprising:

• a memory;
• at least one transceiver;
• and
• at least one processor communicatively coupled to the memory and the at least one transceiver, the at least one processor configured to:
• receive, via the at least one transceiver, a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) and a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) associated with the DMRS, the DMRS and the PDSCH spanning a plurality of symbols of a slot;
• decode the PDSCH;
• perform a positioning measurement based on the DMRS and the decoded PDSCH;
• and
• report, to a location server, the positioning measurement or location information derived at least based on the positioning measurement.

A user equipment (UE), comprising:

• means for receiving a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) and a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) associated with the DMRS, the DMRS and the PDSCH spanning a plurality of symbols of a slot;
• means for decoding the PDSCH;
• means for performing a positioning measurement based on the DMRS and the decoded PDSCH;
• and
• means for reporting, to a location server, the positioning measurement or location information derived at least based on the positioning measurement.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a user equipment (UE), cause the UE to:

• receive a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) and a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) associated with the DMRS, the DMRS and the PDSCH spanning a plurality of symbols of a slot;
• decode the PDSCH;
• perform a positioning measurement based on the DMRS and the decoded PDSCH;
• and
• report, to a location server, the positioning measurement or location information derived at least based on the positioning measurement.
